Trains apparently ignore Red lights if they are causeing these red lights themselves. Yes, I think i read (in an FFF?) that it was made this way to answer cases such as those : signal.jpg The game will draw the signal red, because there is a train present in the curvy block. But the train would sti...

I did some measurement in editor and for even my base that is from one side is covered by water, and could use cliffs as a natural walls it still used 400+ walls to cover the perimeter in efficient way so that even if I got less area it anyway could be worse as this way I don't reach good and narro...

maybe posting the savegame here, and/or a screenshot of the error that is displayed would help.

It may be a version issue if the save if too old.

The "Render Preparation" actually goes from 2.1ms to 14ms - about 12ms slower, which accounts for almost the entire tick difference on its own (taking into account sleep time). I have some programming experience, so as a complete guess (based on what I might do), the "Render Preparat...

Same here, no expert, seeing the electricty network numbers as high as the entity update is a bit weird, as usually the electricity network require less time to be processed but the numbers being the same between the 2 screen that doesn't seem to be the cause of the slowdown. The "update" ...

I do not believe that CPU explanation. Two types of bots would prevent CPU issues for those who want 100000 stupid CPU efficient bots. On paper yes, but if you provide the software as a game to a wide audience, risk of "misusage" or at least "not intended" usage of the tools you...

It would look 'worse' if its shape wasn't regular, that's not 0/10 ! Also there are some stuff lining up, furnaces, assemblies , solar pannels so that's a plus ! Maybe you could show your module and solar pannel production area, to give an idea of what's required/ the speed at which you can expand. ...

quite simple: add a train limit to the unloading station. Set it to 4, one train will be at the station and up to 3 will be in the stacker. If there are more trains that are ready to go to the unloader they will wait at the ore field and not depart before there are less than 4 trains going to the u...

I never quite understoof how a yacht can tack into the wind and go faster than what the wind blows. They say in the video it's because of the curve in the sail, it creates difference in air speed between the 2 sides of the sail which generates thrust where in plane-wing it generates lift, thus sail...

can you show me what you meant? yes, i tried ! Reproducing mostly what is in op but on the left part i showed what i meant by "using only a pair of underground belt for 2 machine when they are just next to each other". I didn't check for material throughput though therefore i expect the d...

What about beacons ? you dislike them ? :D they help make stuff even more compact and offset the productivity-modules negative effect on speed ! For this particular blueprint, the amount of splitters i think could be decreased to make it less expensive to build, and also to make it easier for the co...

Does this help you understand better? You tell me :) 1) Every train has a unique number associated with it; written in its schedule. associated with signal T 2) Every station has a unique number associated with it; written in a combinator. assoociated with signal "white dot" 3) You call a...

Sorry i misunderstood what you said. I was thinking in the remote access context. Which is the whole problem. I would prefer being able to turn them off trough a power switch, and instantly, unlike the decider and the arithmetic combinators. These 2 should be able to be turned off instantly... You ...

Old schedule: Mine -> Unloader New schedule: Mine -> General Waiting Area -> Unloader I don’t know about you, but I would definitely consider an empty train sitting at an unloading station with a full train behind it, unable to move to Destination Full, to be a problem… You could use the "&quo...

fac.jpg The bigger number means more time needed in millisecond to complete a task. if you want to run at 60 ups you need to process a tick in 16.6 millisecond or less. ( since there are 60 tick in a second you want to process 1 tick in 1/60 second or less ). given what you said about number of enn...

Friday 14 of may 2021 Hi everyone ! Le matin du vendredi 14 mai 2021 je double click sur l'icone Steam pour jouer a Factorio. Je click sur bibliothèque ensuite sur Factorio et la je vois que Factorio et désinstaller, ce qui me surprend parce que je ne l'ai jamais désinstaller, de plus de 13 mai 2021...

timer.jpg That is my attempt. Place the blueprint power it , and put a satelite in the chest. The belt loop is sized to fit the 10 sec timer and is just there for demonstration purposes, one lap simulate one launch as if the chest was the rocket silo. Horizontal red arrow => receive the pulse from ...

More helpful than "you're stupid, look it up" would be some example of a situation where you go from less dollars to more dollars I am aware of fractional reserve banking. I count debt as "negative dollars": the bank loans you 1$ and -1$. I would have choosen ignorant rather tha...

Money is created when the government prints money. If everyone payed back debts, the amount of currency would not change. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. The Bond system is not the only money creation source i made a simplified sum up of one thing. Money is created when you go ...

I would say the way money is created relies on models that themselves relies on the idea that growth can be constant over virtually infinite amount of time. It is was fine happening for much time and i think part of it is based on the fact that population growth was following the same trend. I thin...
